# Promising Practices Catalog For each of theTask Force's Four Goals and Four Tools, we have gathered examples of promising practices from across the University. Options to develop a user-friendly online database for the Promising Practices Catalog are currently being considered. In the meantime, an online read-only spreadsheet of promising practices can be found [**here**](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEGICOuc0RqomO60dLzcvERnbLpYD9_iF9W_TwiUEzKdT51nKymHGlNNO1Hn4ECElyXgnW6sualXj/pubhtml?gid=1463973527&single=true).
